A (very!) intensive weekend workshop where you'll learn the basics of upholstery and rejuvenate a small piece of furniture.
Description:
An introduction to upholstery and the opportunity to bring a favourite piece of furniture back to life. Please note this course is not suitable for vehicle upholstery.
Note:
You'll be given Steve's contact details when course numbers are confirmed so you can email photos of your project to him.
On the weekend, bring a sewing machine, heavy duty needle (optional), upholstery thread, hammer, old chisel, fabric scissors, old blanket or drop sheet, pen and paper and lunch, along with your project and the fabric and other materials discussed.
Some basic materials are provided as part of the course fee but please bring cash to pay the tutor for extras you may need. Small projects only, please (chairs, stools, pouffes etc) – wing chairs, sofas and settees will not be suitable for this workshop.
By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to:
- Measure up your project and calculate quantities
- Strip and unpick your project
- Make any necessary repairs to your piece of furniture (at a basic level)
- Cut a new pattern from an existing one
- Cut out fabric
- Sew, staple and carry out other machine work
